(Closed) Separated parents…seated together??

Question for you. My Future In-Laws separated about a year ago (before we were engaged). Future Mother-In-Law moved out of FI’s childhood home and got an apartment. They are currently “dating” and may or may not get back together. They are civil and seem not to mind being around each other, but I’m curious as to how we should seat them at the reception, since they are still married and possibly working it out. I am fairly close with my Future Mother-In-Law, should I ask her what she thinks? I think this is a conversation Fiance should have with her/them, but thinking about them getting divorced upsets him too much, so I don’t think he will bring it up with them. Also, he’s an only child so I have no siblings to bounce this off of. Suggestions?

@dms0622: If you’re comfortable with having that talk with your Future Mother-In-Law, that would be the best way to go. It takes the guess work out of it, and by going with the seating arrangement on which they agree, you wouldn’t offend either one. Good luck!

@dms0622: Someone needs to talk to them both. If you’re only close enough to talk to Future Mother-In-Law, your fiance needs to talk to Future Father-In-Law. He says it upsets him… well I can guarantee it’s a lot more upsetting for them. (And I speak from experience, my parents separated just after I married). He needs to man up and talk to them.
